Ariana Grande just showed off a major makeover that didn’t involve a pair of scissors or dye! The “Problem” singer posted a selfie of a ponytail-less hairstyle that was left loose and straight.

When it comes to beauty, we can pretty much always count on Ariana Grande to rock a perfect black cat eye and a sleek ponytail. But the 22-year-old told threw us a beauty curveball when she shared a picture of herself with her hair completely down and parted in the center. Find out more about her recent hair switch-ups and let us know which look you prefer!

Ari posted a selfie of her loose straight hair to her Instagram on October 8. While she promptly deleted the pic (though we can’t imagine why since she looked amazing), we caught a glimpse of her casual beauty look and need to discuss.

Not only is Ariana without her usual ponytail, but the singer also seems to be a bit more fresh-faced (at least in comparison to her Honeymoon tour looks). Ari’s eye makeup, which usually includes a lot of liquid eyeliner, sky-high lashes and bold brows was a bit lighter than usual, as was her neutral pout.

It seems like Ariana has been wearing the high ponytail or half pony style since she hit the scene, but lately she has been switching up her look. After showing off her natural curls on Instagram, she also tried her hand (or hair) at the Spice Girls double bun style.

Do you like Ariana’s hair better in her usual ponytail style, HollywoodLifers? Or do you think she should keep the sleek, straight look?
